I recently gave in to temptation and bought David Lebovitz’s Ready for Dessert: My Best Recipes. He dubbed his gorgeous flourless chocolate cake “Chocolate Idiot Cake” because it’s nearly foolproof. With only 5 ingredients, and no mixer necessary, it’s definitely an easy recipe which produces a stunning cake. It is a melt in your mouth, creamy chocolate wonder.

The last flourless chocolate cake I made went to my youngest son’s high school…there were sad faces when I came home with an empty plate. Today is my oldest son’s birthday…of course, he wanted chocolate cake. He was sold on this one immediately after seeing the photo in the cookbook. Smart boy.
